Killer local line-up bands together for homelessness

IF you're a fan of Tweed's incredible local music scene, be warned: your brain might start glitching when you peruse the line-up for this upcoming local festival.

The 'Moo Oz: Gimme Shelter' concert, which comes to Cudgen later this month, has released a line-up adorned with Tweed's finest live music acts, and it's all for a good cause, too.

Awareness of the plight of Tweed's homeless will be amplified at the event, with over 6000 people expected to witness some 44 acts over six stages, as the festival raises funds to support the good work of agencies across the Tweed dealing with homelessness.

The fusion of a vibrant live local arts scene and a mission to help those less fortunate should be a reflection of a community well and truly in gear, building on efforts such as the Tweed Sleepout hosted last week at Seagulls Club.

And as a concert, the day will be like few others if you're a keen fan of the local scene.

 

Hayley Grace and The Bay Collective will appear at Moo Oz fest.

There's the Round Mountain Girls, Krush, Hayley Grace and the Bay Collective, Matty Rogers and plenty more local talent, and with the international Killer Queen Experience as the headline act, it will be hard to sit still.

For budding musicians, there is a Youth Busking Competition (spaces are filling fast), which gives contestants a chance to win a signed guitar and an opportunity to shine on the big stage.

A children's tipi will also be available with workshops and fun activities at the Little Moo Oz Fest.
